Well, as I'm sure you understand, I am not party to the intricate workings of HM Treasury, so I do not know how financial matters on a national scale will pan out in the future. Perhaps you know...?

Yeah but the insinuation was that it was all going to be spent on the NHS. You know that wasn't true. I knew it wasn't true. One of the heath ministers at the time even resigned over it.
It was a crass headline that undermined a lot of what Brexit stood for to many of the ordinary people who voted for it. Let's just accept it for what it was.

This will be of little interest to little englander. They'll be saying, "serves 'em right".This was always going to happen

As I have posted before, neither campaign had ANY executive power to spend a single penny from Treasury funds. Hence it was an equivalent.
Jeez, it's not hard to understand, and it wasn't at the time!!!

So it was just a blatant lie.
However it did con millions and millions of people.

What do you want me to say?. I'm just acknowledging that the bus advertisement wasn't factual. The truth is that the money we save in not contributing to the EU, approximately £14bn pa, will go into the pot. Had we still been in the EU it probably would have been closer to £25bn pa but best not go there. There's no way of knowing what that £14bn would be spent on as that's not how our treasury works, but some of it would have been spent on replacing some of the benefits we previously received from the EU, such as CAP and development funding.
Since 2016 a lot more than £350m per week extra has been sent on our NHS. But that is down to years of austerity and nothing to do with Brexit.

Not arguing with any of that. Just saying that it was crass and disingenuous and left the Leave campaign open to the sort of criticism it's getting today, four and a half years on.
The people I know who voted Leave would have taken that for what it was, but if they hadn't done it we wouldn't be having this discussion now.

Apparently it was, because Leavers believed it was 350m going to the NHS instead.

Hahahaha........you Remainers will believe anything.....
Shock horror. Politicians lying, being economical with the truth. I fully believed that the city of London would collapse within weeks of a leave vote. The British economy would collapse within days of a leave vote. That Cameron won concessions from the EU. That the SNP would respect the NO vote for independence
Liars on both sides!,,
